March 23, 201016 yr Please excuse me if I am posting this in the wrong forum - or not following the correct procedure (If so don't hesitate letting me know . I was reading about advanced Samba configurations and posted to another thread that was fairly old. I wasn't certain if my question would be missed so I'm hoping that it is acceptable if I start a new thread. The original post was http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=3138.msg26647#msg26647 regarding File/Dir permissions in Samba Shares. I read the Wiki information, and the information posted by bjp999 in the thread above, and would like to try something similar. The idea is to create a modified smb.conf file and copy it into ramdisk whereby I can create usermaps for Windows users. The only thing that I am not certain of is whether Samba shares configured in this fashion can span disks like unRAID user shares - is this possible? bjp999 mentions that he can enable disk shares without issues - is it also possible to simultaneously configure unRAID user shares as well? Thank you for any insight!
March 23, 201016 yr The approach discussed in: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4110.0 http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4185.0 will provide the functionality you require at the disk or directory level. The shares defined in the smb-extra.conf file can define the permission you need. I do not use user shares, so I cannot comment if the same approach can be used across user shares. However, the following discussion indicates you can: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5446.0
March 23, 201016 yr Author Thank you mcs - I greatly appreciate it! I searched at great length and somehow missed those posts. The ability to use a config/smb-extra.conf file is exactly what I needed. The only thing now is to learn whether smb-extra.conf shares will span disks .

March 23, 201016 yr Author Thanks so much Purko - That answers my question. I certainly appreciate it.
